JUBA Cheap Nike Air Max Vapormax Outlet , Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has recommended launching night peacekeeping patrols to residential neighbourhoods to provide additional security and boost confidence for South Sudanese returning home.

Head of the UN Peacekeeping Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) David Shearer said Wednesday the proposal is being considered by South Sudan authorities.

"UNMISS and our humanitarian partners both have a role to play in the eventual return of displaced people," Shearer said on a visit to Wau town in north-western region.

Shearer visited the neighbourhood of Lokoloko on the outskirts of Wau where some residents have returned to their houses and started growing food on a small scale.

"UNMISS can help by providing a greater sense of security and humanitarian agencies can offer more services outside the protection camps so those people will have more incentives to leave and restart their lives at home," he added in a statement issued after the visit.

In April Cheap Nike Air Max 2018 Outlet , the alleged ambush and killing of a government SPLA General in Wau led to clashes in the town resulting in the deaths of around 30 civilians.

Shearer, who is also the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, said the return of displaced people to their homes in Wau could provide a "model" for other parts of the country.

"It is important that people return to their homes voluntarily and for that to happen they need to feel safe and confident about their future Cheap Nike Air Max 2017 Outlet ," Shearer said.

The number of displaced people living in the UNMISS Protection of Civilians (POC) site has fallen from 38,000 to 32,500 over the last two months. Many of those people have returned home to cultivate their land.

"The security situation has improved in recent weeks. I am pleased to see that the local authorities Cheap Nike Air Max Outlet , the police and National Security have worked to improve the security environment," the UN official said.

Shearer met with the Wau Governor and security officials about cooperation with the UN, humanitarian agencies and importantly the displaced people themselves Cheap Air Max Vapormax Outlet , to create the enabling conditions to assist people to leave the camps and go home.

"This collaboration could represent a new model for the return of displaced people," he said.

HEFEI, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- China started building its first national engineering laboratory for atmospheric environmental monitoring on Sunday in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province.

Jointly launched by the Hefei government and Hefei Institute of Physical Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Cheap Air Max 2017 Outlet , the lab aims to develop advanced monitoring technology and equipment for the country's environmental monitoring agencies and companies.

Liu Wenqing, director of the lab, said construction will last three years.

"The national engineering lab will research and develop advanced technology and equipment related to monitoring of fine particulate matter Cheap Air Max Outlet , gaseous pollutants, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals, as well as onboard and satellite telemetry systems Cheap Nike Air Max Vapormax Mens ," said Liu.

Yan Qing, director of the Bureau of Science and Technology for Development under the CAS, said that the new lab will put China's home-grown atmospheric environmental monitoring technology into domestic and international markets.

LOS ANGELES, March 29 (Xinhua) -- A U.S. federal judge in Hawaii on Wednesday extended his previous nationwide order blocking the implementation of President Donald Trump's revised travel ban while the lawsuit continues.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson's original order halting the travel ban was issued on March 15, hours before the ban was set to go into effect, in the form of a nationwide temporary restraining order.

Court papers show that Watson granted a motion on Wednesday to turn his temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction, extending his order against the ban while the case moves forward.

The move sets the stage for the Department of Justice to appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is the same court that upheld a national halt to Trump's first travel ban last month after a Seattle federal judge ruled against it.

Hawaii has become the first state in the United States to file a lawsuit against Trump's revised travel ban. Judge Watson blocked provisions of the March 6 executive order of Trump that would have frozen the refugee program for 120 days and stopped citizens of six Muslim countries from entering the United States.

The revised travel ban will bar entry of citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.

The new order lowered the named nations from seven to six, among other changes. Iraq, which was included in the first ban, has been taken off the list.

The state of Hawaii sued to stop the travel ban, arguing the president's policy violates the Constitution and the travel ban would harm its economy because of the loss of tourism and the ability to recruit international students.

Trump reacted to Watson's March 15 restraining order by calling the ruling "an unprecedented judicial overreach", pledging to take the legal fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
